The month's event will take place on Wednesday, September 16th at 6:00 PM at Maker Lab in the Rockford Public Library.This month, we're stepping away from code for a night to dig into something that touches everything we build: Ethics and Technology.Join us for an open, moderated discussion tackling some of the thorniest questions in tech today:What's the real cost of trading personal data for "free" information — and what does that trade-off mean for society?Who should fund open source software, and does the current model actually work?If an AI generates content, is that a unique, copyrightable work — or something else entirely?Who owns the value AI creates, when its training data came from all of us?The ethical technology question that you've been mulling over and want to discuss with larger group. No slides, no single speaker with all the answers,  just a room full of developers wrestling with questions that don't have easy ones. Bring your opinions, bring your doubts, and bring a friend who likes to argue in good faith.📍 Maker Lab, 2nd Floor — Rockford Public Library🕕 6:00 PM🗓️ Wednesday, September 16thSee you there!More info: RockfordDev.com
